Neoclassical vs. Romanticism

I see a monster type thing eating a baby. It alomost looks like a human that is covered in a whole bunch of hair who is disturbed with himelf.
The artist used lots of shapes and lines. The color is very dark and dull. The value is dark.
I feel the overall mood is dark and depressed. I feel like the artist was disturbed with someone or himself. It looks like the artist was trying to display death and murder.
I would definately not put this anywhere in my house or room. It creates a negative energy and sadness.
This is Romanticism because it shows lots of emotion, the subject is violent, and the brushstrokes are very visible.

I see a man who has died from writing. It looks as if someone stabbed him or he took his own life.
The artist used many lines and shapes. Some being curved and some being straight. The value is light and the colors used are not very bright.
The overall mood is serene. The death of the fellow writer is sad but he seems so peaceful.
I might hang this up in the bathroom. But I am not the biggest fan of this painting.
This is Neoclassicism because the tone is calm, the techniques have no color or brushstrokes, and the composition only consist of one figure(person) in the foreground.
